The Great Below is a post-horror puzzle game that visually nods to the genre classics of the late 90s. Don't expect any jump scares or cliched tropes here. The game builds tension through exploration, a haunting soundtrack, clue-finding, and the necessity to switch between 2D and 3D perspectives.

You find yourself in a mysterious room, dimly lit by the pale light of a fireplace. Before stepping into the darkness ahead, you grab a single match, which you can later use to briefly illuminate the gloom.
Upon leaving the room, the game shifts you into a 2D perspective. From this map view, you’ll trace your steps through the rooms of the enigmatic Mansion, searching for puzzle pieces to assemble the bigger picture and uncover answers to what this place is, why you are here, and what is really happening.

The mentioned match will aid you in scouting around in 3D mode. You'll have only as much time as it takes for the flame to consume its wooden body before darkness falls and you find yourself back in the room with the fireplace.

You'll have to return to this place many times, retracing your earlier steps and using the knowledge gained to progress further and unravel the mystery.

The Great Below pays tribute to the classic horrors of the PS1 era not just visually but in its gameplay philosophy too. This is one of those games that doesn’t hold your hand, so brace yourself for some challenging puzzles.
